more music :)

back to the grind today. spent the entire day sorting out one of my major account groups. due to a combination of the client not providing the information in the way we require it and my fellow team members not bothering to do their jobs properly, it has got into a bit of a mess. i sorted out most of it and now the hard part is done.

otto says 'I want to thank everyone who played last week (and all the previous weeks as well). I hope to see more participants this week and in the weeks to come.... I'm getting discouraged. =) I would like to challenge you all to invite one friend to join us this week and see if we can increase our participation. Thank you!'

Here's the deal; each of the following questions begin with:

How much do you think is the most you would pay for...

1....a loaf of bread?um, i don't even know how much i pay for a loaf of bread. i just buy it. i have bought $1 loaves and $6 loaves - it depends upon how good the bread is and how badly i want it...2....a gallon of gas?i don't buy gas/petrol as i don't have a car.3....a pair of jeans?i have paid $50 and i have paid $14 for jeans. if i like them and they fit, i'll buy them.4....a computer?again, there is no real upper limit - i will only pay what i think is fair. i paid $585 for my current machine. it was 'built' so is not a 'branded' machine. i think i got my money's worth.5....a camera?eek, i'm so difficult. i paid $600 duty free for my canon elph aps film camera and only $199 for my dinky little digital. i'm happy with both.6....a pair of shoes?the price of a pair of shoes is never an issue, if i like them and they are available in my size and colour preference, i will buy them. i love shoes.7....a television?um, i have never bought a television, i have only inherited them from family members and ex-boyfriends... wait until this one packs it in and then it will be determined by who has one to spare and how much i can afford...8....a recliner chair?i have never owned a recliner chair. the one i want costs about $1300 but i would never pay that...9....a month of 'lightning speed' internet service?i have no idea. i doubt i'd pay more than what i'm currently paying for my semi fast tortoise speed dial up...10....a cell phone?nothing... i've never paid for one yet. i always get them on 2 year contracts, so the actual hardware is technically 'free'...

i'm nominating everyone who visits to participate in monday madness, if you are not doing so already.

About Me

"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more."
